Man's handwriting so bad bank staff didn’t know he was trying to rob them

[Still Waters]

A robber has been jailed, after bad handwriting thwarted his attempt to take money from a bank in Eastbourne.

Alan Slattery used written notes to ask cashiers to hand over money in the space of two weeks, at branches in the town and in Hastings.

Slattery entered three banks in Hastings and Eastbourne in the space of two weeks, and used written notes to ask the cashiers to hand over money.

His first attempt was at the Nationwide Building Society in Terminus Road, Eastbourne, at 10.45am on March 18th

Due to poor handwriting, the employee was unable to read the note and Slattery left the branch empty-handed.

'your screams won't stop what I've got just hand over the 10s and 20s'

seems pretty plain and straightforward to me. or are we dealing with the 'I don't comprehend actual written language' crowd?

It says 'screen' not 'screams'.

I'm not sure how to answer your final question.

He's a pretty poor substitute for King Avriel.

His note reads:

"Your screen won't stop what I've got just hand over the 10s and 20s think about the customer's"

There's more than one image of the note in the links I posted. There's part of the note, and there's the whole note.
